DGCA issues advisory circular on GNSS interference in airspace

The DGCA has released an advisory circular on GNSS interference in airspace, highlighting the emerging threats of jamming and spoofing. The circular establishes roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in monitoring and mitigating the threat, and emphasizes reporting obligations. The European Union’s civil aviation regulator has also issued a safety bulletin advising airlines to educate pilots on spoofing and jamming. Modern jets rely on GNSS for navigation, but they also have conventional navigational systems. The reliance on GNSS has increased due to its accuracy.
